Save Jamie Dowling !

On March 9,
young mom Jamie Dowling was driving her two small kids, Landyn and
Raylee, on a snowy stretch of Colorado highway. Jamie was driving
slowly, and her kids were safely buckled in, but the roads were bad.
Jamie hit a patch of ice, her car careened into another lane, and she
was hit by oncoming traffic. Jamie was a nurse, and she tried to save
her kids' lives, but she couldn't. Landyn and Raylee both died that day.

Now the local District
Attorney is charging Jamie with two counts of "careless driving
resulting in death," threatening to send a grieving mom to jail.

My parents live right near the
spot of the crash -- so close that they heard the accident happen. In
fact, my stepdad was the first person on the scene, 20 minutes before
the ambulance arrived. When he got there, he said Jamie was trying to
revive her son, who was already dead. My stepdad had to pry Landyn out
of Jamie's arms just to get Jamie out of the car.

Jamie still struggles everyday
to move forward from the death of her children. Landyn was 5, he loved
cows and horses. Raylee was just 2, her favorite color was pink, and she
thought everything should have sparkles. Jamie had moved her family
from Texas to Colorado just a week before the accident, and the whole
family was excited for a new start.

My parents were there for the
worst moment of Jamie's life, watching her struggle to save her children
even though they were already gone. We don't understand why the DA is insisting on dragging out Jamie's nightmare; it doesn't make any sense to us. But we were there for Jamie that day, and we're going to keep standing with her now.

I know other petitions on
Change.org have prompted District Attorneys to drop unfair charges
before -- I hope that if thousands of people sign my petition, DA
Hotsenpiller will end his senseless prosecution of Jamie Dowling.
